Pros

Easy Parking and low fuel and environmentally friendly.

Cons

You must be extra careful with the potholes but that's a complain about the condition of the road, not the car itself.

A Must Have In Nyc —
The convertible top allows you to carry long items. I never worry about moving the car from a parking spot since I know I will always find another one. Freedom of moving around without the hassle. Super low gas usage.

Pros

Cute, easy and fun to drive, good on gas and parking.

Cons

No power, sluggish, transmission glitches and issues, seat belt buckles tend to break or wear out easily(driver side) and the engine is in the car with you in the back under cargo area so the temp can get a bit warm inside the car, need to use AC or fan while driving in it.

Only For The Smart Car Enthusiast. Good To Be Project Car And Not Taken Seriously. —
Horse power sucks and transmission sucks! Very very very basic car for very very basic functions. Good car for a teen's first/starter car. Not meant for moderate driving and i do not advise highway or bridge driving normal cars passing you by will blow you into the next lane if not careful.

Pros

Easy on the eye, easy on gas,Fun to drive.

Cons

No cons at this time.

I Love It! —
I wanted a small car. I wanted a car that is easy on gas. I wanted a car that I would like looking at in my driveway.I wanted a car that other people would like looking at. My 2009 Smart fortwo is all of the above. Car gurus .com was a great help when looking for a car.

Pros

Grat parking and fun around town with the top down.

Cons

Small tires make for harsh entry and exits out of NY pot holes.

Great 5 Year Relationship. —
Never let me down and always ready for fun. Easy to maintain and great on gas. Surprising on just how much you can fit inside, especially with passenger side fold down seat. The car also did better then most front wheel drive cars in the snow.

Pros

best city car, can fit in the smallest spaces, mpg, no maintenance issues, descend cargo room

Cons

noise, transmission, driving over 75 mph takes some nerve

Smart Fortwo Passion —
perfect car for NYC, great alt to taking cabs/subway, always can find parking. If you can get over the horrible transmission and don't do too much highway driving (max 2 hours) it's a great little city car. If you shift it manually you get a much smoother experience, not sure what they were thinking when they produced the transmission!!

Pros

I love this little car. It's been an amazing what you can get into it. It's a great little commuter car. It's also fun to drive to events . . . parking is a dream. You can shoehorn it in to spaces that no other car could fit in to. It takes up about half the space in my garage that a normal car would.

Cons

It won't go over 100 mph.

A Nice Surprise —
After 37,500 miles, I have to say this car has been one of my biggest surprises. I bought it because I'm cheap and I liked the fuel economy, but hated to give up all the creature comforts. But this little car had legroom, and lots of options. I thought I'd probably not like the little car, but I was willing to make the sacrifice. But the car has won me over. It's surprisingly roomy, easy to own, even fun to drive. I love the power-convertible roof, the heated seats, the sound system. I've owned 25 or 30 cars, from M3's to Grand Wagonners, Sentras to 300D's. This is the only car that has surprised me, other than the M3. Both were a lot better than I thought they could be.

Pros

Cons

no back seat, small trunk area

Smart Fortwo Pure Passion Or Cabriolet —
Fun and functional, surprisingly spacious and safe, affordable and economical, colorful and customizable, easy to park in small spaces, good gas mileage, standard features are impressive, and additional options like heated leather seats are under a thousand dollars extra, plus loads of smart accessories to choose from, great deal!

Pros

it`s small

Cons

Top Speed

I Like! —
smart fortwo BRABUS - pretty good performance for a
city car. And small enough to fit in every gap. Always
park right in front of the place you want to go to.
Consumption of Gas is another plus - it is so cheap to
drive one

Pros

The look of the car

Cons

Its to small and it can hold two people

Mgabriel —

Pros

Cheap to run and insure and is very safe

Cons

Make sure it not been mistreated

Great,practical Everyday Car That Evertyone Should Have —
Perfect for getting around even if there is only two seats.Reliable up to date with gadget.Best car for a first time buyer. Exellant mileage. If you get a dent all you do it quickly and easily change the panel at the nearest garage. It is great for those small space so you can laugh at your friend who had to park up the road because the space was to small. I would highly recommend this to anybody be it a first time buyer or a parent.
